London to Brighton - June 17th

[Kestonian]

Anyone else doing London to Brighton on June 17th?

I'll be on a late '99 Cannondale CAAD2, so not retro yet but it's getting there!

Anyone ridden back to London and got any suggested routes?

I wanted to sign up, but by the time I got round to it entry was full. Now considering just loitering around the start and riding it cheeky style.

Yep am doing it, a mate has dropped out and i have taken his place with three weeks warning!!

Will prob be on the old Klein fitted with some slicks!

What time are you starting off?

 

[Kestonian]

Departing 7am.

 

[Klein-Mad-Chris]

Cool me too, might see you there.

Anyone else doing it? Perhaps a retro cake stop could be in order?

Road kill

Yep - I'm down for it... I'll be on the roadie/MTB hybrid Orange Formula wearing a distinctive Retrobike Team top...

I'm starting at 8.30am I think and heading due South....

I did it last year on my 1992 Breezer Lightning Pro , on the right, http://www.darkrepository.com/galleries/l2b/finish.jpg

and will be doing it again this year. Managed 51.3mph on that mad downhill about 8 miles from the end! This was with no rear brake as a stone had got caught in a rear pad scoring the rim and leaving a massive lump where I had released the brake. Had to do some scary slip streaming as well

7am or 7.30 start for me or something similary stupid!!

Did it in 3hrs28 riding time and 3hrs43 total time including a couple of stops

Right - all set for Sunday.

Will be there in RetroBike cycling top (should arrive today / tomorrow!)
